Hopefully she gets more airtime now after being featured twice in the MYC.

She's my favorite woman in NXT in 2018.
She is one of my favorites too, in fact I knew about Taynara Melo before she got into wrestling; I personally got to watch a Judo match of hers years ago. Which is why I want to see her do better! She can legit shoot and is capable of being so much more and could tap out wrestlers in moments if they cut her loose without it getting too real, right now they have her moving and selling in the ring a bit too phony. She's nowhere near as clumsy as the company portrays her to be.

I sometimes wonder if the NXT creative are just holding her back on purpose in order to make her more character driven.

HUGE missed opportunity concerning The Undisputed Era and her if you ask me. I'd have loved to see her be in the group to destroy the women's division under that faction name. Then they truly could've mopped the floor in men's singles, women's singles and the tag team divisions.

However, I hope to see her gain some more exposure and perform well on the roster there. She could and should be a big breakout star for the women on there if they had confidence in her. She's easily more skilled than a majority of them.

NXT probably thought she wasn't ready for it, plus Cole is a bit too chauvinist and full of himself to have recognized the potential of what that could have been, but then again Cole uses everyone to further his success including his own partners and has been known to dispose of them when they were no longer useful, so maybe it was a good thing Taynara didn't join with him in hindsight.

Friends have shown me past iPhone recorded house show matches of Tay wrestling against others like Rhea and Candace, and from what I've seen it seems to me that her house show work is much better than what WWE has shown of her on TV. She seems to be a better worker when she's pacing carefully and isn't on a short amount of time.

She also can do the same armbars and submission holds as Deonna Purrazzo, though Deonna has the much better overall skill and experience over Tay; it wouldn't take much though for her to transition into a more dangerous competitor. Like you said she just needs more exposure and experience.
